Check whether each citation supports a separate claim, fact, or sentence
Count each unique source only once unless it is cited for a different independent point
Treat repeated citations to the same source in the same context as one citation
Count citations separately when they refer to different sources
Count citations separately when the same source is used to support distinct, unrelated statements
Do not count duplicate citations that appear multiple times for the same evidence
Verify whether the citation is attached to a new argument, statistic, or quotation
Use the citation count based on independent supporting uses, not raw appearances
